Reviews of Main Idea

  • Using for dyslexic homeschooler

    We are using this app for our 3rd grader. This is our first year homeschooling, and we're focusing on relearning basics that were never fully mastered in public schools. We have several other apps in the bundle but are going one by one through them. My student likes this app. I like the read aloud option for making the iPad read the text to him since he struggles with that area. We are seeing sequential gains in his reading comprehension. Thanks!
  • Disappointed

    I always hope to leave positive reviews for a company; however, my final rating will depend on customer service. I am a 4th grade ELA teacher; I use I-Ready Reading curriculum. I purchased the $35 app bundle with my own funds hoping to use this resource for centers. Unfortunately, the 4th grade bundle is useless to me. I skipped ahead to the apps' highest levels hoping for more rigorous content. I find that this resource is far to easy, even for students who receive accommodations. I have requested an exchange or credit from the company. I would re-purchase the product at a more challenging level.

    Developer Response

    Now that we can reply via the app store (not possible until recently!), I just wanted to make sure that you got your refund after we gave you instructions for how to do it. Thank you for your feedback: Happy Frog Customer Care
